So i guess it is national gaming day in the US. Dont really know what that means but i guess it something libraries are putting on with online score competitions and whatnot. Board games aswell. Anyone know anything about this? Can we get free games at the game stores like free comic book day?

It's about damn time that such a "National Gaming Day" was recognized in the USA. Think of all the great American arcade game developers like Atari Games, Williams, Bally Midway, Stern, Cinematronics, etc. that got their start on American soil. ^_~
Yeah, giving away a free game from the local video game shops just like how local comic book shop do so on "Free Comic Book Giveaway Day" once a year (draws in new & potential customers -- is always good for business). I'm all for it. Might as well give away some free shmup titles as well to promote that genre while on topic. ^_~

I'm sure if anyone gave away free games, it would be used, or budget titles, or games that flopped & aren't selling

The only thing is i believe this is geared towards kids. So i could imagine seeing Sesame Street: Fun With Burt and Ernie. As opposed to games like halo or 1942 or contra.

In my world, every day is Gaming Day.

Are you sure they don't mean National Gambling Day? I think that would be a bit more fun.
